SUMMER FASHIONS

The peplum is still with us. Many summer blouses are made with a short skirt —like Russian blouses —or a shorter peplum that is worn outside the skirt. Lace berthas give a particularly dainty and summery look to thin frocks of silk or muslin. Striped parasols are effective with plain colored or white suits. • Some of the new boudoir caps—which are often called negligee caps now, by the way—are made like children’s bonnets, with strings to tie under the chin. Pockets are more and more capacious. Many of the new linen frocks for summer wear have huge pockets, almost like bags, applied on the skirts. A charming new hat is trimmed with real butterflies, properly dried, and placed under white tulle for protection.
